"We've already had a discussion about it, and the guys are all aware. We've just come out of the sub-continent where we played a lot of cricket.

"The wickets were low and slow, and I think this one will be a lot better than those, so I'm pretty sure we can cope."

Vettori said his team wouldn't be holding back as they chase an elusive win over the Proteas.

Since the two heavy test losses, the Black Caps have been far more competitive in the shortened matches but have failed to take advantage of winning positions.

"We need to win both matches to give ourselves a shot at the series," Vettori said.

"The way we play tomorrow will be with that in mind, and we definitely will not be playing defensively.

"We'll be chasing that win as hard as we can, but the key thing is that when you are chasing a win, you maybe push a little too hard and forget about a few of the simple things you need to do.

"So I'll be expressing that to the team and hopefully we can keep on top of them."

Smith hinted there might be some changes to South Africa's bowling line-up.

"We've got to look at the wicket and the conditions, but obviously Dale (Steyn) and (Charl) Langeveldt come into the equation. We'll see what switches we need to make to suit the conditions," Smith said.

"We want to be more clinical come tomorrow. It would be fantastic to close off the series tomorrow."
